Supplemental Information - Revenue Analysis

Six Months Ended June 30

(Millions) (Unaudited)

The Company conducts business in 130 countries. As a result, foreign exchange
rate movements may impact period-to-period comparisons of revenue. Similarly,
certain other items such as acquisitions and dispositions, including transfers
among businesses, may impact period-to-period comparisons of revenue.
Underlying revenue measures the change in revenue from one period to the next
by isolating these impacts.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended June 30

(Millions) (Unaudited)

Overview

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (referred to in this
release as in accordance with "GAAP" or "reported" results). The Company also
refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within
the meaning of Regulation G in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These measures are: adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating
margin, adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). The
Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to
the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with
GAAP in the following tables.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information that enables investors to better compare the
Company’s performance across periods. Management also uses these measures
internally to assess the operating performance of its businesses, to assess
performance for employee compensation, and to decide how to allocate
resources. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the
Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP measures
include adjustments that reflect how management views its businesses, and may
differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Margin

Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding the impact of
certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP operating income (loss). The
following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted
operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and
reportable segment basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, adjusted operating margin
is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified
intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue.
